- A man serves as essentially a double for Marshall McLuhan.
- Beth and Steve have the traditional perception that the man should be the major household breadwinner, which does not match the reality of their relationship. As such, they both "keep score" of who pays for what. Resentment has crept into the marriage because of it as Beth has taken an extra job to pay off their $23,000 debt which she sees more as Steve's (largely his student loan). Beth always questions Steve about money which makes him feel emasculated, like she doesn't trust him, which he feels she should. Steve, who spends much of his "non-working" time performing stand-up, wants to be supportive about money issues but doesn't know how, as he didn't have those life skills of knowing how to manage a household before living with Beth. Beyond their spending, Gail wants them to manage their money better, including planning for imminent inevitabilities - namely both their aged cars needing to be replaced - and for their want to have a baby in the next couple of years. But Gail needs them most to work together toward the common goal of managing their collective money, and not look at it as his money or her money especially in paying off "their" debt.
